I am a: Quirky sysadmin. Geek. Gamer. Comic fangirl. My little space, my home on the interwebs. I blog about personal stuffs, work, various coding projects, and anything else I feel like.

I have been up since 3am. Remember when we had to take my cat by the vet last week? EDIT: Now that I think about it, I don’t think I blogged it. Hobie had been in immense pain and would not eat. Worse, she was very lethargic, slept only downstairs and on the floor — […]
